Bunny Thrill-laaaaaah!

From Flickr user Yiie, here’s “Otis (Dutch rabbit, now 11 months old) sleeping. She had her paws up and was moving them slowly, almost looked like she was dancing to Michael Jackson’s Thriller song.”

  2. earlybird1 says:

    Hee hee… reminds me of those kids’ books about Bunnicula… “The Celery Stalks at Midnight!”

  3. Theresa says:

    @Earlybird, “Celery Stalks at Midnight” was actually a big-band number!

    Is this a sly attempt to bring Theo back to CO??

    “Put yo’ hands up, like you just don’t caaaaaaaare….”

    (also: LURVE the h’text!!! )
    (oh, yeah; AND love the bunneh, ‘course….)

    Aw, adorable. Even the lyrics of Thriller tell us what to do in this situation: “…Now is the time for you and I to cuddle close to together…”

    Imagine Buncent Price voice:

    And though you fight to stay awake
    Your bunny starts to SHIVER,
    For no mere mortal can resist
    The CO of . . . the THRILLER!

    AHAHahahahahahaha!

    It’s close to midnight
    and something furry’s lurking in the dark…

    No, I’m sorry this is not the King of Pop. This is Bun DMC, the King of Hip Hop.

    @Theresa: wow, I never knew that! Pretty cool song too – I do like a bit of big-band every now and again. I was thinking of the book, but they probably stole the title from the album. LOL!!!

    Theresa – I was listening to Big Band today. In the car (XM Radio channel, 40s on 4).
    Cool stuff.

    Oh! I loved the Bunnicula series in my early teens! I remember “Howliday Inn” distinctly. I love how the bunny drained the vegetables of their juice and the cat Chester was always so suspicious. Cute! :)

  12. I wonder what he’s dreaming about. If he was twitching to “Thriller,” perhaps in his mind he’s running away from de zombies…

    Is not Thriller…is bunbun air biscuits!

    I even disaprove in my sleep.

    My daughter is sadly ending her volunteer duties at the local rabbit shelter. She’s been doing it over a year and no longer had the time in her schedule. She was very upset having to leave one beloved bunny in particular, Lollipop. She fell in love with Lolly’s sweetness and was worried the bun would never get adopted. She didn’t want to leave her. Well, lo and behold the very week my daughter stopped working is the very week Lolly got adopted! Yay! After a year Lolly finally gets a real home. A place to move, jump, roll-over, be held and loved. YES!

    Awww… Hopefully she’s having happy dreams about hopping through grassy fields!

    @Marie: Yay for bunneh adoptions! And good on your daughter for volunteering when she was able. Maybe she can do it again in the future. (-:

  17. O NO He/She/It DI-unt!!! says:

    @ Marie: YAY for Lollipop and for your daughter!!!

  18. Birdcage says:

    You try to squee,
    But bunneh takes the sounds before you make it.

  19. NH says:

    Well, if you say so…

  20. Cashew says:

    @Birdcage: snerk!

  21. BadKitty says:

    Nah, it looks more like,
    “I’m a bunny bun,
    with a squee, squee, squee
    and a
    squee squee squee”

  22. wannadance says:

    to dance is to live!!!!

  23. CoffeeCup says:

    Why is there no VIDEO of this dancing??

  24. cc says:

    I actually just stumbled across a t-shirt that reminded me of this picture.

    Hope this one’s having a good dream at least, despite dancing to the Thriller vid. Too cute!

  25. cc says:

    Hmm, couldn’t post that pic for some reason. But it’s the current shirt at Tilteed

  26. Marie says:

    @O NO He/She/It DI-unt!!!

    Yes, total yays for sure!! Thank you! :D

  27. Yiiee says:

    I’m stoked that Otis got featured! :D

    Wish I did catch this on video, but by the time I swapped my phone for a camera, she was wide awake already.

  28. Andrew says:

    Yes, I agree. There needs to be made into an MJ video.
